What the hell has happened to double yolk eggs?

Seriously now, where did they go? There were never huge numbers of them, but they cropped up every now and then to provide unparalleled excitement at the breakfast table. Now they seem to have vanished into the murky depths of history along with the space shuttle and the cream that used to float on top of a pint of milk.

Is this evidence that humanity is in terminal decline?

This conversation is considered resolved.

"[name], I'm sorry you don't understand, but given our past interactions, I suspect you don't actually care and are just looking to waste my time. This conversation is considered resolved."

Can someone explain why I keep seeing this in basically every thread (not to me, mind; just in general)? Did someone keep saying it and now it's sort of an ironic in-joke? I don't understand!

Video Game Music

Since there seem to be a bunch of video gamers on here I was curious if anyone else had a favorite theme from a video game.

I personally love the opening theme from Final Fantasy 4 (2 in the states).

Teaching Gravity in School

Gravity is not proven and is called the theory of gravity, not the law of gravity. Since its only a theory it shouldn't be taught in school as there is insufficient evidence to prove that things fall towards the ground when dropped.

What if the power of a god were proportional to the number of followers he has?

Assume the god/gods of each religion have divine power proportional to the number of followers. Assume also that gods can carry out divine intervention.
What would happen to the world? Please only consider religions that have a considerable following in the modern day.

MIT discovers location of memories

http://www.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/conjuring-memories-artificially-0322.html

Thoughts?

So, if they can map specific cells with specific memories, do you think we'd be able to transfer memories to one another in the future?

orathaic (1009 )

i somehow doubt specific cells have any one-to-one correspondance with specific memories - but i haven't read the article - would it not make more sense for a network of cells to correspond with memories... and definitely something to do with structure or context... hmm.

I'd imagine that you wouldn't be able to do anything until you can copy the entire structure of all memories (and perhaps some of the bodily contextual information which goes along with them) rather than a single specific memory...

I really have no idea how to respond to such a statement.

No....But I wish they could. I suspect this study goes something like this: Probe a cell with an electrode, patient suddenly recalls something. Repeat, same results. Ding...memory is mapped.

In order to transfer memories, you have to probe every brain cell and record the response. I suggest we begin experimentation immediately on Putin and Jamie...we'll crank up the voltage on the electrodes to speed the process along...

I heard a case study one time where a guy got a nail shot into his skull - did some minor brain damage. The effect was this: He could no longer recall the names of *tools*, specifically. You could show him a hammer, a screw driver, etc and he could tell you what they do, he could use them...but ask him what they were called? Nada....fascinating stuff...

Um...Krellin...

If that's what the ones you've seen look like, you may want to get yourself tested.

orathaic (1009 )

'In order to transfer memories, you have to probe every brain cell and record the response.'

exactly - there may be a single cell which can trigger a memory, but there is likely a huge interconnected network of cells which a stimulated when that single cell gets the first jolt...

ok, now i've read the article, and i see nothing which contradicted my original view.... :)

Walking Dead redeemed?

Just watched the season finale and it almost makes watching the rest of the show worth it. I won't give you any spoilers but, if you're watching it because you're a fan of the comic and keep waiting for it to get good, watch the finale.

Horrified

OK, I've finally found something on the internet so insanely terrible and godaweful that I am absolutely horrified and disgusted by it. This simply should not exist - and I consider it proof that there is indeed no God. I don't know what else to say. Not for the faint of heart!

Invasion of privacy or not?

Interesting article on prospective employers forcing interviewees to show them facebook profiles etc. Do you guys feel this is an invasion of privacy or something legitimate for corporations to be doing now?
